The woman was neither deprecating nor arrogant in her manner.
"I certainly have enough respect for Lady Murong. I just didn't know that Lady Murong would invite such a useless person." The change in the manager's attitude was obvious.
As a businessman, he certainly wouldn't infuriate the powerful.
Nan Ningxin smiled. "Only experts were invited in past years, but we decided to entertain more people this year."
She smiled in the most comforting way.
People in the hall had been feeling moody about Gu Bailu, but they were relieved after Nan Ningxin's explanation.
She was certainly great at persuasion.
Gu Bailu looked at her with a casual smile, as if she didn't understand what she meant.
Wasn't the woman saying that she had been invited to make everyone else feel better about themselves?
Gu Bailu never wanted to come at all!
